(Nanowerk Spotlight) Dimensions typically refer to the measurable extent of height, width, and depth, defining an object's presence in physical space. However, in the weird and wonderful quantum world ...

(Nanowerk News) From designing new biomaterials to novel photonic devices, new materials built through a process called bottom-up nanofabrication, or self-assembly, are opening up pathways to new ...

Science-fiction writers have long envisioned human­–machine hybrids that wield extraordinary powers. However, “super plants” with integrated nanomaterials may be much closer to reality than cyborgs.

Mechanically, nanomaterials can enhance alloy hardness and ceramic super-plasticity. 1 Their large surface area allows for modifications that improve mechanical properties such as hardness, adhesion, ...
